Bob was only 6 years old when he suddenly lost his Dad. His Mom discovered his love for music and dance, so he began dance lessons where he later would become an instructor for Arthur Murray Dance Studio, as well as an independent guitar musician and singer. He joined the Air Force and finished his education. A born salesman, he was a serial entrepreneur, in electronic repair and installation, but his true love was music. He and his wife Rita created Bob & Rita and The Country Sundowners, playing at many different venues around New England including Indian Ranch. His favorite hymn was "Faith of our Fathers". Bob's pastimes when not performing were golf, chess and feral cat rescues.
